Eyeball!

So I am trying to get in the habit of coming here. I am also trying to get used to grabbing my camera. Kinda need to work on both.

As many people know - I am a complete psycho freak about eyeballs - they freak me out, I want to barf when people talk about them etc... so I have a "good" eyeball story to tell and that I want to remember.

My brother - who is kinda a person of very few words, he has been doing my moms kitchen for months now. He is down to filling in nail holes and taking after pictures. He chose hickory for the cabinets which is an extrememly hard wood with knots. He worked on the cabinets at his work for many weeks before bringing them down to her house. She didn't like the look of the natural knots so he did everything he could to smooth them out or get rid of them. Just the other day after months of working and looking at the kitchen... he was going over his "mistakes" that he could only get away with in his moms kitchen. He told her that he left this one knot in one of the cabinets to represent my dads eye watching over her always. AWWWW! Needless to say it broke my moms heart as well as mine and thought it was so special. So now everytime I walk in my moms kitchen I will forever see an EYE!!!! But for once I don't mind. Thank you so much Jeff!!!

I have been trying to figure out what to write here and I am still not sure. I need to get my camera fixed so I can get some pictures of the gorgeous sunsets we have been having. We just found out my husband was layed off so I have been kinda in panic mode. It is a very scary time for our family as well as many of my friends. For now I am just thankful for the health of my family.

I ♥ Faces - Week 9 (Creative Crop)

My "in real life" friend, Angie, recently co-founded this new photography sharing website and she has me completely hooked on it now. Darn her! :)

I've finally decided to stop just looking at the entries and actually join in! Here are my entries for this week's "Creative Crop" photo challenge...

I'm really looking forward to being part of the fun at I ♥ Faces. You should go check it out too!

I never ever thought I would do this. I am so "dumb" when it comes to computers. Hopefully I will catch on to this soon. My goal is to make this a place for memories for my kids. Even though I teach scrapbooking... I NEVER sit down to do my own kids.
